title: [Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia of the jaws].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is a benign and rare tumor of the jaws. It is more commonly seen in middle-aged black women. Most cases are asymptomatic and are found during routine radiographic examination.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report two complicated cases of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia, one with facial deformity and the other with chronic osteitis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The diagnosis of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is based on clinical and radiological features. The lesions are commonly bilateral and symmetrical.
